thanks man, i was going to make a new one tonight, slightly different, front angle peice a bit shorter in width, and the sides just a tad longer and maybe more at a angle. if you shoot me over a jpg file with the dimensions you want me to cut ill be glad to cut ya one up while im doing this one. jpg file is fine, just send me the dimensions of one of the peices so i can size and cut the file properly. if not you are welcome to this wing for free lol.
Wing Attempt 2, wanted a bit longer more shapely sides. its the same width cause i liked the other wing's width.
the other peice is going to be my aluminum roof. i was going to cut it out where the exposed aluminum is, but im going to leave it for right now and maybe have slots milled professionally.. working on it now, more pics soon..
Ok Project Sunday... im going to attempt to build a custom fiberglass shell. Got the Fiberglass and resin.... in the process of taping/bagging my car, stiffening the panels... and figuring out the resin mix.... This will either be the biggest mess i ever made or its gonna come out awesome... right now its awesome looking in my head.... lets see what happens in a hour or so lol.. pictures of my mess to follow...
if that doesnt work out to welll... i am going to make a aluminum body panel shell, bent along the edges and such.. Possibly welded to fit... i will polish the main part and leave some fine sanded flames with a vinyl template... hard to explain, hopefully the fiberglass will work out lol.
i discovered that tidbit when i was doing a test patch of resin lol... im moving it out to the shed now lol, i forgot it stunk to high heaven.. im immune to the smell, but my girlfriend will probably beat me with a belt later if she comes home to this lol
mike, i work with fiberglass a lot. unless you shed is 65 degrees go for the aluminum now and try the fiberglass in May. IMO if you want good results....
i have given up my painting projects until the warmer weather also. doesn't it say some temp range like that on the package of resin mix? how is the snow by you, we got a light dusting in suffolk.
light here too, roads are all black again now, just dusted here.. i got a heater in my shed so i may try it.. got the car masked off and ready to go.. like i said... this will either be amazing... or a total f'en mess lol
Well i am assembling a new prototype for the real racing chassis clone...
i know its not much to look at but this is what i did in the last 2 hours...
going to try and do some more today...
but once i get things rolling we will see a bunch very...

Mike,
someone had like 3 sets of chrome ones in the b/s/t area for $15 or so I think. Can't quite remember who it was or where the ad went. If I find it I'll pass it on. The chrome comes off quite easy with soaking so you can dye them afterwards. If...
This is a Clod I started building in the fall of 2018. I had been out of RC for about 20 yrs and decided to jump back in about a year & half ago with a tube chassis clod again. This one has taken a back burner a few times due to other projects....

Yeah, hated seeing my rcs collect dust in the basement. Already spending more than I wanted just to get them going.... just like old times! Haha
Hi everyone! Here's a tube chassis I've been tinkering on for quite some time. This one is actually a prototype, Serial Number 1. I have several of these chassis built with various changes to each one, but those haven't been photographed yet. I will...

Love the chassis build
have you considered releasing build sheets for the DIY peeps
finally got some pics of my build going and wanted to post them up here as i build them.
keep in mind this is just a prototype so forgive the crappy welds, they will clean up nicely anyway. i used 3/16 stainless tube (the coated stuff gives off...

thanks, im planning to make 10 or so, i actually scrapped the above chassis after completing more of it for a simpler design with less welds and more strength, got some advice from the crawler forum.
if i get enough steel to make more, i will make...
This Real Racing chassis was part of a trade deal as a parts car.The pic only showed the top half of it behind what i think is a late Edinger car RTR minus the transmitter. :( So i jumped on it and received it today,boy is this thing in sad shape !...

Guess i might be better off replacing alot of the tubes on this one for strength purposes i guess,and definitely reweld every G@#D@# joint on it. May as well add my own flair to this one lmao DON
Every where i make it straight the tube is getting...
I've been on the hunt for a tube chassis for years. I've missed out on a few in the past so when Spanky posted some of the chassis he made, I took the bait. I bought his #2 chassis and it came in the mail today and I'm happy.

This is so killer! I've always wanted a tube sand rail since I saw that one in RC action that had the cooler and cup holders!!! That's was the 90s!
Do any of you remember the name of the company I think they were from Puerto Rico that was making tube RC 10 buggy chassis he was selling them on eBay for just over $100 if I remember right and I remember him posting on here looking for a b4 to...

Don't get too excited, he doesn't have any for sale and never made the B4 cage.
Hi all
Picked this up on the cheap and want to restore it.......question is the chassis looks like its faded, so what can i use to bring back to nice red colour......
thanks for any help Mick

And if you re-anodize it you'll need to REALLY work over those scratches in the back. It's not like a powder coat that hides things. Think of anodizing as a clear coat. You'll see everything when it's done.
